Fans are very excited to see the first female solo film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe starring Brie Larson as the titular character Captain Marvel. While doing an interview to promote Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel chief Kevin Feige was asked if another female Marvel character would be introduced and his answer is definitely what fans wanted to hear.

When being asked about Captain Marvel, the question arose if Ms. Marvel, a female Muslim hero from the comics with ties to Captain Marvel, would ever be considered for the MCU. Feige then responded that there are in fact plans to bring the character Kamala Khan to the big screen.

Ms. Marvel, who also goes by the name Kamala Khan, was created by editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker, writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Adrian Alphona. Khan is Marvel’s first Muslim character to headline her own comic book. Khan made her first appearance in Captain Marvel #14 (August 2013) before going on to star in the solo series Ms. Marvel, which debuted in February 2014. Khan is a teenage Pakistani American from Jersey City, New Jersey with shapeshifting abilities and assumes the mantle of Ms. Marvel from her idol, Carol Danvers after Danvers becomes Captain Marvel.

Fans know that Captain Marvel is somewhat of a prequel film and will take place in the 90’s. We will most likely see Captain Marvel in the untitled Avengers 4 film coming out next year. So once Larson establishes herself in the MCU, then it should be no issue introducing Ms. Marvel very soon after. This character would be the first Muslim superhero to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is very exciting news and a true testament to Marvel’s commitment to diversity within their properties.

The story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Captain Marvel is slated to hit theaters on March 8, 2019.

10 Potential Directors For The Next ‘Fantastic Four’ Movie

Fantastic Four is one of the most important titles in comic book history. It is the foundation where Marvel Comics originated from. Yet on the film side, more than any other property, the Fantastic Four have had a rough go. The first family of comics deserves better. With the news that Disney is in the process of acquiring Fox (unless Comcast swoops in for a final bid), the number one topic on everybody’s mind is when and how the Fantastic Four will be incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

One big factor in bringing the Fantastic Four into the MCU is who will be the director of the team’s next cinematic outing. This director will face both the difficult task of redefining a film franchise that most filmgoers now have a negative association with and also setting the tone and casting some of the most iconic names in comic books. What would Iron Man be without Jon Favreau? Guardians of the Galaxy is unique because of James Gunn’s creative vision. Black Panther owes a great deal of its success to Ryan Coogler. The Fantastic Four need the same level of guidance.

Marvel Studios has a great track record of finding directors from unconventional places. They see talent and potential in a filmmaker — maybe ones who don’t have the immediate track record for big scale filmmaking but directors who know how to craft interesting narratives, fully realized characters and get great performances from actors. There are plenty to choose from and we’ve come up with ten great directors Marvel should look at to helm the next Fantastic Four movie. Click Next to get started!

Every facet of their varied cultures, languages and even places on the planet will all be represented by a single solitary character.
